BAKERSFIELD
TO: Miscellaneous Civil Service Board
FROM: Christi Tenter, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: Reclassification of Administrative Analyst II position to Business
Manager
DATE: November 9, 2020
Human Resources Department is recommending the reclassification of one jlj
Administrative Analyst II position to the classification of Business Manager. Upon
review and assessment of the employee's job duties, it has been determined that
the employee is performing the duties within thejob scope of the Business Manager
classification:
"Under general direction, acts as departmental administrative officer for a
major City department; coordinates, makes recommendations for action
and advises department head in developing, implementing, and
monitoring operating, capital improvement, and other budgets; performs
complex and difficult administrative, financial, statistical, and other
management analyses in support of activities and functions of a City
department; supervises staff; performs related work as required."
In 2014, the position was reclassified to an Administrative Analyst I due to growing
analytical and fiscal-related duties required of the position. At that time, the
position began assisting with citywide rates and inventory related to technology
needs. Today, each department has a key reliance on technology.
With adoption of the 2020-2021 budget Technology Services was appointed as a
department within the City's organization structure. While previously an operating
division of the City Manager's Office, the growing staff, inventory, vendor
management and capital projects continue to expand and evolve which require a
dedicated position to act as the departmental administrative officer in fiscal,
administrative and budget matters. The current incumbent provides these functions
in addition to having a deep understanding of the citywide budget in order to
develop and allocate rates to departments. These align with the duties, skills and
abilities of the Business Manager classification.
Therefore, based on the above, I recommend this employee be reclassified from
Administrative Analyst II to a Business Manager due of the ownership of the fiscal
and administrative programs for the Technology Services Department.
If certified, the recommendation will be presented to the City Council for final
determination at the November 17, 2020 meeting.
